Tue, 10 Nov 2009 17:26:02 +0000

The 5.1-channel HT-BD1250R is an excellent option for those seeking a low-cost home-cinema system with a built-in Blu-ray player. Its audio performance is admirable for the price, and its picture quality is even better, while a number of appealing extras, such as an iPod dock, only sweeten the deal

Hisense MP800H Media HD Player review

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 11:09:01 +0000

The MP800H Media HD Player offers 1080p video playback, either via USB or over your home network, for a remarkably low price.

Sony Giga Juke NAS-SC500PK review

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 16:33:02 +0000

Sony's multi-room audio system lets you store and manage your music on a main server, which comes with speakers and an iPod dock, and stream that audio to a separate unit in another room. It could be easier to use, but it has tonnes of features and you get excellent sound for the money
